Ebony barrels

Just a thought. I can make duduks on my wood lathe, and see no problems in making clarinet barres on the lathe as well. I have some Ebony I am going to turn for a duduk, and was wondering if it would be good for a clarinet barrel? How about Apricot wood, or what about black cherry or pear? Most types of wood are available either at Woodcraft or on some online auctions. Most are just a few dollars in a blank. It takes me about 3 hours to turn an apricot square blank into a 13.3" duduk with an internal bore of 11.5mm and with finger-holes drilled on both sides. I think making a clarinet barrel would be a breeze.
